Those are exactly the character traits I want my doctor to have. I'm a very healthy person, so my main interaction with him is when I go in for my annual physical, which is free under my health insurance plan. Scheduling with Renown is very easy, and I've always had a positive experience with the staff members.

I love this man and I'm so grateful that he is MY doctor!

(over two weeks ago-5/23).. Both results were a relief and no fluid around or near the heart.. and biopsy was benign.. My downgrade of stars- as much as I enjoy my NP over the years, I'm really disappointed with lack of response .. I anxiously awaited the results and even though I read them before it being viewed, I never heard back .. This happened late last year as well.. I called and left messages and no response. I think it's time for me to move on and will be seeing a new MD.. Hopefully, one that will respond in a timely fashion..

Went Above and Beyond to Correct My Medical Certificate I…read morecame in for my FAA medical exam intending to get a Class 1 certificate (I had initially created my MedXpress under Class 3 but decided to upgrade). Dr. Highley completed my exam thoroughly and professionally. When we realized after the fact that the class hadn't been updated in the system, he took full responsibility and handled the FAA correction process himself. I received my corrected Class 1 medical certificate by mail without any hassle or additional cost. His integrity and commitment to making things right made all the difference. As a new pilot working toward my ratings, having a Class 1 medical from the start saves me time and money down the road. Highly recommend Dr. Highley to any aviator needing their FAA medical. Professional, thorough, and genuinely cares about getting it right.

You truly feel listened to and cared for during your appointments. Throughout the Covid 19 crisis, Dr. Smith has been great at communicating information regularly and it is so nice to know I can reach out to him with any questions I have. I highly recommend Dr. Smith and Sugar Pine Family Medicine.

Dr. Smith is part of the Reno Family Physicians, but is a separate practice through a program…read morecalled MDVIP. This is basically a concierge style medical practice that allows for a better option to see your physician when you need to. There is a cost associated to this level of service, but given the current healthcare climate, I think it is money well spent. This allows Dr. Smith to actually know what ailments you might have or how to maintain or improve your health. With the MDVIP program, Dr. Smith has an opportunity to know your name and your comprehensive health history, not just reading your chart. This is a very custom approach to medicine that you don't see in most doctors offices. The wait to see Dr. Smith is usually very short. If you call to set up an appointment, often times you can be seen the same day or the next day depending on his schedule. In most cases once you walk in, you will be directed to the separate waiting area for Dr. Smith's patients that includes bottled water, TV, and light healthy snacks. The longest I have had to wait is around five or 10 minutes. The nurse will come and get you, take you to an exam room, and talk about what the reason for your visit is and to take your vitals. Dr. Smith is generally prompt with his appointment times, and wastes little time getting to see you. I have been a patient of Dr. Paul Smith for several years and know he is a real person, and talks to you like a real person. He knows about you and your family, and how your health affects both. He enjoys athletic activities, and often shares stories of his recent adventures. He is passionate about the care he provides to his patients, and does everything he can to understand what ails them or how to improve their overall health. There are numerous opportunities throughout the year to interact with Dr. Smith with outdoor activities, cooking seminars, or trying new athletic activities to help provide alternatives to a sedentary lifestyle. Another component of the program includes an annual wellness check. This is similar to a baseline physical, that evaluates your comprehensive well-being and is way more thorough. There is a battery of tests and blood samples taken to identify areas of concern and or areas that you are doing well with. It is always nice to see improvement in your progress year after year.
